Top ten worst being any PC FPS to a console.
You misspelled Deadly Towers for NES
That pretty much is what Atari Pac-Man was.
One Programmer submitted his unfinished beta, Atari said it was good enough to be released with the dollar signs in their eyes.
I can't stand this guys voice
PS1 port of Super SF2 Turbo was pretty wonky
Super Mario Bros port to the Atari was butttt
It's a good thing I got tired of Street Fighter 4 by the time Ultra Street Fighter 4 came out on PlayStation 4. I thought about buying it since Street Fighter 5 is a little disappointing.
I disagree with Morrowind while yes the graphics were downgraded but that was expected the gameplay was still all there and it was excellent for its time, how Mortal Kombat Advance doesn't make the list is beyond me unless portables didn't count for the list
Mortal Kombat Advance on the GBA. I will take all 3 MKs with no blood over that game any day of the week.
Also, Quake 4 on Xbox 360. Original xbox version of Doom 3 emulated ran better on the 360 with the same engine.
Ha Doom on 3DO looks like it's playing the game on a Game Boy Player. You can play the GBA version on the GameCube GB Player and run Doom on 3DO at the same time they'll be close to identical.
Here are many other bad or lacking console ports:
Doom – Sega Saturn
Virtua Fighter 2 – Sega Genesis
Final Fight – Super NES
Pit-Fighter – Sega Genesis, Super NES
Time Killers – Sega Genesis
Mortal Kombat – Super NES
Donkey Kong – NES
Samurai Shodown III – PlayStation
Marvel vs. Capcom – PlayStation
WWF WrestleMania Arcade – Super NES
Fatal Fury – Super NES
Altered Beast – Famicom
Mega Man Anniversary Collection – GameCube (they fuck up the control so bad it makes the entire collection not worth playing)
F-Zero X – Wii U VC port
Tales of Symphonia HD – PS3
Metal Gear – NES
Tetris – NES (Tengen version is still better)
Golden Axe – PC Engine, Dreamcast
Wait, why is Bayonetta on PS3 a honorable mention? Wasn't it developed exactly for PS3 and XBOX 360?
i saw number 1 coming from a mile away.
How do y'all leave out the crappy PS1 ports of FF 5, & 6 with poor emulation and bad load times or the PS3 version KH 2 final mix?
Why is Bayonetta for PS3 a bad port?
I don't really agree with Watch MOjo's video about X-Men Vs. Street Fighter…
I've played the game on PC and it was amazingly good…
sees Mortal Kombat (SNES) as a dishonorable mention That reminds me. When you make a handheld version of this list, remember to throw Mortal Kombat 4 for Game Boy Color somewhere in there. If it's not the worst GBC game in my collection, it's a shoe-in for 2nd place.
DO YOU EVEN LIKE COMIC SANS?
mk1 on snes graphics look better and the sound is better
No street fighter alpha for snes..? 'kay
Morrowind was a good port, and the GOTY edition smoothed out a lot of the problems (not all), but Bethesda is well known for releasing buggy games until they release send an update or re-release.
This list has too much modern. Ports of arcade games back in the day were SO bad. Pit Fighter?
really isn't a suprise to see xmen vs street fighter superior on the sega saturn, there are tons of great ports especially 2d fighting games
SF4 on PS4 is a bad port? I never noticed anything although I'm not a competitive player but it sounds like from the shortcomings described here that it's not bad enough to be on this list. What about Final Fight on SNES or Halo on PC? Those are clearly worse ports.
Grandia 2 (PS2), MK2 (Sega Genesis), Dino Crisis (Dreamcast), and Metal Slug Anthology (Wii) should be on the list.
Say what you want about all the other game systems, but leave Panasonic 3DO alone. That game system fucking rocked.
O sea todos los ports a una Nintendo son una mierda. OK.
did they say doozy 2, to spoof the name Susie Q?
its just the impression it gives to Dale Hawkins fans.
funny how Rockabilly music and video games do not mix, well, for the most part anyway.
